It’s always exciting the witness the birth of a new and special collaboration project. One of our favourites so far this year is between London based singer-songwriter Hannah White and a Norwegian Americana supergroup headed by legendary producer & composer HP Gundersen. Together they are releasing an exciting self-titled debut album on June 5th.
This unique line-up has already released the singles ‘City Beats’, ‘My Father’ and ‘Never Get Along’ with new single ‘Pay Me A Compliment' set for release shortly, The debut single ‘City Beats’ was debuted on BBC Radio 2 last year.
The album is a wonderful collection of songs recorded live in a bread factory in Bergen and without a hint of digital recording. The production is refreshingly warm, authentic, and honest. After a band tour in 2019 which covered UK festivals such as Black Deer, Lamer Tree and The British Country Music Festival, they are awaiting the lifting of the current Covid 19 restrictions to tour again. We can guarantee that they are going to have a busy schedule.
This album is another exciting chapter in Hannah’s music journey after the successful launch of her last solo album ‘Elephant Eye'‘ with six of the album’s single receiving national and local airplay.
In keeping with the commitment to social inclusion in her songs, Hannah and her husband Keiron are also finalising plans for a new south London location of their multi-award winning music venue The Sound Lounge which will also incorporate an arts centre and community space.
Hannah comments “The coming together with the Nordic Connection happened after a phone call from a mutual contact, now a close friend. I agreed to play a live show and after one brief meet-up in a bread factory in Bergen and a sold-out gig with a mind-blowing band, the deal was sealed.

Larkin Poe - Self Made Man (12/06/20)
Artist: Larkin Poe
Release Date: June 12th 2020
Genre: Blue, Rock, Americana
Record Label: Tricki-Woo
Tracks: 11
Website: http://www.larkinpoe.com/
After a remarkable two-year run that saw them earn a GRAMMY® Award nomination for their last chart-topping studio album while touring the world from Nashville to New Zealand and back again, Larkin Poe have returned with what is undeniably their most wide-reaching, artistically adventurous, and self-determined work to date.
Once again taking the producer reins and releasing on their own Tricki-Woo Records label, SELF MADE MAN, sees the multi-instrumentalist sister duo, comprised of the Atlanta-bred, Nashville-based Rebecca and Megan Lovell, pushing their music and message towards hitherto unexplored terrain, inspired by their epic world travels yet still powerfully rooted in the creative heritage of their beloved American South. From the thunderous power of the album-opening "She's A Self Made Man," through the nostalgic "Tears of Blue to Gold" and fierce Chicago blues of "Scorpion," to the front porch jubilation of "Easy Street," the album is ambitious in both its eclectic, energetic sound and its resolutely welcoming mission, its universal lyrical approach fueled by tradition, invention, and Larkin Poe's remarkable ability to touch the hearts and souls of their fellow humans worldwide.

Courtney Marie Andrews - Old Flowers (05/06/20)
Artist: Courtney Marie Andrews
Release Date: 5th June 2020
Genre: Americana, Folk
Record Lable: Loose Music
Tracks: 10
Website:
On her 3rd album for both Fat Possum and Loose Records, Courtney Marie Andrews has seemingly pulled in to one package all the songwriting skill, vocal prowess, and musicianship displayed on previous albums, into one career-defining statement. A break-up record for sure, though due to CMA's extraordinary storytelling gifts, more of a modern-day coming-of-age tale of love won, love sustained, and unfortunately, love's inevitable dissolution

"In his lyrics he melds romance and striking imagery of the elements, singing gorgeous narratives." - The Independent.
"A dexterous, poignant, and softly addictive return, one that underlines the real strengths to his musicality." - Clash.
"On The Other Side" is the long-awaited debut album from Blanco White, London based artist Josh Edwards' project.
With three EPs released so far, 'The Wind Rose' (2016), 'Colder Heavens' (2016) which was produced by Ian Grimble (Bear's Den, Matt Corby, Daughter) and 2018's 'Nocturne' EP, Blanco White has achieved significant success, enabling him to tour the globe for months on end and gaining huge streaming numbers.
Having studied guitar in Cádiz (Spain), and later the Andean instrument the charango in Sucre (Bolivia), Josh's aim was to begin bringing together elements of Andalusian and Latin American music alongside influences closer to home.
The new album has been recorded mostly in London and is self-produced by Josh, engineered by Dani Spragg and mixed by Air Studios' Jake Jackson.
